Usually in relation to Uighur camps, the argument is "since you're in America you can't change whether they're concentration camps or education facilities, so you should just concentrate on the concentration camps within your own borders instead."

Like, motherfucker, I can have an opinion on the actions in another country and still work on changing things I can change.

I guess my question is, is this concentrate on what you can change part of some theory or strategy I haven't read or is it just bad and lazy?

In particular for China it's essentially conceding to the people who thinks there are millions of Uighurs being murdered, rather than attempt to engage and show that there is no evidence of that, and just what abouting.

    No, we should focus on things that exsist. All you do is spread imperialism. Why can't so many western leftist get rid of their brainworms. Your western education is nothing but imperialist propaganda.

    Plus, when you live in the worst place on earth, you should probably concentrate on changing stuff there. You're not the world police. This has nothing to do with being lazy, you just don't know shit about anything outside the US, so why do you think your oppinion on them matters?

      So what is the best action when there is a group of people parroting State department propaganda on China in a public forum and spreading imperialist propaganda?

      Is it just to suggest that they fix their own inhumane immigrant abductions, or is it provide a counterpoint by looking at what is true about the Xinjiang education facilities and workforce training, or is it to do nothing and let that propaganda sit there with nobody questioning it?
